Every Game Getting &quot;Switch 2 Edition&quot; Enhanced Versions

Alongside brand-new games for Nintendo Switch 2, a number of existing and upcoming games for the original Switch have received Switch 2-enhanced versions, officially dubbed “Switch 2 Edition.”

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokemon Legends Z-A, were among the first games to launch with Switch 2 Editions, while older games such as Super Mario Party Jamboree are among the titles getting an upgrade. Fans who already own those games for the original Switch can purchase an upgrade to the Switch 2 Editions, typically costing $10 (though some exceptions apply).

The good news for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom owners is that the Zelda Switch 2 Edition upgrades will be free to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. However, you will need to own those games in order to play their Switch 2 Edition counterparts.

Additionally, some Nintendo Switch games will get free updates for Switch 2. They may improve performance or add support for features like GameShare, but it will vary game by game.

Below, you’ll find every Switch 2 Edition announced so far. For more, check out details on the every Switch 2 game so far, all of the GameCube games for Switch Online, and the best Switch 2 games at launch.
